The formulas are for education and product development. No formula has been safety-assessed, stability-tested or challenge-tested. Before any product is sold in Great Britain or the EU it needs a Responsible Person, a CPSR signed by a qualified safety assessor, a Product Information File and notification under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (as retained in GB). The book's foundation chapters set out the legal position and claims.
